'''Mämmi''' ({{IPA-fi|ˈmæmːi|lang}}; {{lang-sv|label=[[Finland Swedish|Swedish]]|memma}}) is a traditional [[Finland|Finnish]] dessert, eaten around [[Easter]].
Mämmi is traditionally made of water, [[rye]] flour,

Traditional mämmi has an aromatic and sweet flavour, consisting of just 2% sugar or less, whereas commercially produced mämmi can contain as much as 20% sugar and is therefore much different in flavour. Mämmi has up to 10% protein and is rich in trace elements.{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}} Traditionally, mämmi was stored in small boxes made of [[birch bark]] called ''tuokkonen'' or ''rove'', the appearance of which is now mimicked by commercial packaging.
Typically, mämmi is eaten cold, with either milk or cream and sugar, and less commonly with vanilla sauce. Traditionally, it was also eaten on sliced bread as a spread.{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}} There is a Finnish society for mämmi<ref>{{cite web

Today, [[Finns]] seldom make mämmi at home and most modern mämmi is factory-made. Traditional versions of mämmi are sold in Finland with the labels ''perinteinen'' (traditional) or ''luomu'' (organic). Some people of Finnish descent in [[North America]] and [[Australia]] still make mämmi at home.<ref>{{Cite web
